We consider an optically thick spherical agglomerate of magneto-optical scatterers with a central isotropic, unpolarized light source, placed in a homogeneous magnetic field. The Photon Hall Effect induces a rotating Poynting vector, both…

We present results of fully three-dimensional MHD simulations of disk accretion to a rotating magnetized star with its dipole moment inclined at an angle Theta to the rotation axis of the disk. We observed that matter accretes from the disk…
Through the magnetic braking and the launching of protostellar outflows, magnetic fields play a major role in the regulation of angular momentum in star formation, which directly impacts the formation and evolution of protoplanetary disks…
We present a general linear dispersion relation which describes the coupled behavior of magnetorotational, photon bubble, and convective instabilities in weakly magnetized, differentially rotating accretion disks. We presume the accretion…
Radial substructures in circumstellar disks are now routinely observed by ALMA. There is also growing evidence that disk winds drive accretion in such disks. We show through 2D (axisymmetric) simulations that rings and gaps develop…
We investigate the impact of gas accretion in streams on the evolution of disc galaxies, using magneto-hydrodynamic simulations including advection and anisotropic diffusion of cosmic rays generated by supernovae as the only source of…
We present self-similar solutions for advection -dominated accretion flows with thermal conduction in the presence of outflows. Possible effects of outflows on the accretion flow are parametrized and a saturated form of thermal conduction,…
Activity of the nuclei of galaxies and stellar mass systems involving disk accretion to black holes is thought to be due to (1) a small-scale turbulent magnetic field in the disk (due to the magneto-rotational instability or MRI) which…
We consider accretion disks consisting of counter-rotating gaseous components with an intervening shear layer. Configurations of this type may arise from the accretion of newly supplied counter-rotating gas onto an existing co-rotating gas…
We formulate the problem of magnetic field dissipation during the accretion phase of low-mass star formation, and we carry out the first step of an iterative solution procedure by assuming that the gas is in free-fall along radial field…
In high-quality solid-state systems at low temperatures, the hydrodynamic or the ballistic regimes of heat and charge transport are realized in the electron and the phonon systems. In these regimes, the thermal and the electric conductance…
The influence of the Hall effect on the global stability of cool Kepler disks under the influence of an axial magnetic field is considered. For sufficiently large magnetic Reynolds numbers Rm the magnetorotational instability (MRI) exists…
We formulate a quasiclassical theory ($\omega_c\tau \lesssim 1$ with $\omega_c$ as the cyclotron frequency and $\tau$ as the relaxation time) to study the influence of magnetic field on electron-impurity scattering process in the…
The present study examines self-similarity evolution of advection dominated accretion flow (ADAF) in the presence of a toroidal magnetic field. In this research, it was assumed that the angular momentum transport is due to viscous…
We investigate the fossil magnetic field in the accretion and protoplanetary discs using the Shakura and Sunyaev approach. The distinguishing feature of this study is the accurate solution of the ionization balance equations and the…
Standard accretion disk theory is formulated which is based on the local heat balance. The energy produced by a turbulent viscous heating is supposed to be emitted to the sides of the disc. Sources of turbulence in the accretion disc are…
Magnetic fields and magnetic materials have promising microfluidic applications. For example, magnetic micro-convection can enhance mixing considerably. However, previous studies have not explained increased effective diffusion during this…
Two-dimensional accretion flows near black holes have been investigated by time-dependent hydrodynamical calculations. We assume that the flow is axisymmetric and that radiative losses of internal energy are negligible, so that the disc is…
Kinetic helicity is a fundamental characteristics of astrophysical turbulent flows. It is not only responsible for the generation of large-scale magnetic fields in the Sun, stars, and spiral galaxies, but it also affects turbulent diffusion…
